BLAKE3
RecommendedBLAKE3 is a cryptographic hash function released in 2020. It is dramatically faster than all previous hash functions due to tree-based parallelism, while maintaining strong security. It serves as a hash, MAC, KDF, and XOF in one function.
What is BLAKE3?
BLAKE3 is a recommended cryptographic hash algorithm that produces a Configurable, default 256 bits (64 hex characters) output. BLAKE3 is a cryptographic hash function released in 2020. It is dramatically faster than all previous hash functions due to tree-based parallelism, while maintaining strong security. It serves as a hash, MAC, KDF, and XOF in one function. It is classified as very fast in performance and commonly used for high-throughput file hashing and integrity verification and content-addressable storage systems.
